Logging In And Logging Out

You must log in and be authenticated in order to use the Virtual Office Web
Client. Two versions of the Virtual Office Web Client are
available, advanced and standard.

Advanced Web Client offers the full set of Ajax based
web collaboration features. The advanced web client works with the newer
browsers and the faster internet connections.

Standard Web Client is a good option when internet connections
are slow or users prefer HTML-based messaging for navigating within their
mailbox.

When the login dialog appears, you can select which
version you want to log into.

In most cases, Advanced Web Client is
the default client and is opened automatically when you log in. You
can change the default to be the Standard Web Client from your Preferences,
General tab after you log in.

To log in

Open a browser window and enter the URL provided by
your Virtual Office administrator.

For example:

http://mail.domain.com/vo/mail

When the login screen appears, type
your user name. You may be required to type your full email address as
the user name and your password.

Example of a full
email address, type:

myra@example.com
myra123

Your password displays
as ****** on-screen, to protect your privacy.

To be remembered on this computer until the session
expires or you log out, check Remember
me on this computer.

If you check this,
you will not have to log in every time you restart the browser during
a day. When this is checked and you do not log
out, your session remains active until the session expires. The system
administrator configures how long a session is active.

Note:
If you leave your web client open in your browser but do not access your
mailbox for a period of time, your session may time out and then you will
need to log back in.

If
you do not want the default client type, change the version
displayed.

Click Log
In.

To log out:

To prevent others from logging in to your email account, you should
always use the Log Out link to
close your Virtual Office session.
